Ingredients
200g mixed salada mix of crunchy and soft leaves work well
1 carrot
1 orange pepper
1 Royal Gala apple
50g walnuts
50g baby tomatoes
Lemon juice
Salad Dressing
60ml olive oil
20ml balsamic vinegar
1 teaspoon of sugar
half a teaspoon of mild/medium mustard
Instructions
On a large plate sprinkle out the mixed salad.
Chop up the tomatoes and pepper. Add to the salad.
Using a peeler, peel the carrot and keep peeling all the way through to make lovely strips.
Cut the apple and remove the core. Thinly slice the apple. I used the mandoline to get them beautifully thin. Sprinkle with lemon juice to stop it browning. (The lemon juice on the apple works incredibly well with the salad dressing below.)
Add the apple to the salad.
Chop up the walnuts and sprinkle them over the salad.
Salad Dressing
Put all the ingredients in the bottle and give it a good shake.
Have a little taste to see if’s right for you. I like a more vinegary dressing so I usually add a splash more of vinegar.
Dress the salad and serve straight away. If you have any left over it will last in the fridge for a few days.
